George Moore - 1778

George Moore was a politician in Dublin. Father to both James Moore and the Very Reverend William Ogle Moore. He was a protestant and spoke out against Catholic relief and other policies relating to Catholics.
(I wonder how he would feel about the number of Catholic ancestors he has today?)

Described by Richard Shiel

" a man distinguished at the Irish bar for the urbanity of his manners, set off by a sweet smile, a look of ruddy juvenility at 48, a formidable flow of tautology and a great charm and gentleness of demeanour, which rendered him an agreeable companion and endeared him to all those who mixed with him in the intercourse of private life. He was known to be a strong politician, but his aspect, intonations and his address made those who differed from him pay little regard to any acerbity in his opinions.9"

The Very Reverend William Ogle Moore and Anna Casey

The story told on the link below is of the demise of this family at Kilbride. The Moore's friend Mrs Smith tells of  The Very Reverend William Ogle Moore's generosity and charity but she also speaks of his weakness towards his wife and children. It is reported that the family lived beyond their means and had to sell off goods and land. The Very Reverend William Ogle Moore then takes up writing to make ends meet.
Mrs Smith kept a series of diaries where she frequently mentions the Very Reverend William Ogle Moore. She says he lavishes much affection on his children and spoils his wife with new dresses. Mrs Smith does not report on this in a positive manner, but I love that he was a generous and affectionate man.

John Ogle Moore and family in Western Australia

John Ogle Moore 1867 Albury NSW - 1951 Parramatta NSW.

John Ogle Moore ventured to Western Australia where he met Eena Lee Waldeck. They were married in Fremantle in 1897 and Eena gave birth to two daughters, Phyllis and Jean. Much of their time was spent in the Goldfields of Western Australia where John was a Mine Manager for Bewick Moreing. They were part of the "Smart Set"in the Goldfields. Families of the mining elite. The had servants, attended balls, played tennis and often the wives spent months away with their family. The Moores socialised with the likes of Herbert Hoover, the young American engineer, who later became Preseident of the United States of America. This lifestyle in the Goldfields tooks its toll on many marriages. Unfortunately the Moore's marriage was not to last and they divorced in 1911. Eena divorced her husband on the grounds of adultery. They children and their mother returned to Fremantle to live with their grandmama and never saw their father again. Some of their life together in the Goldfields of Western Australia is recorded in the book "Daughters of Midas" Norma King.
Highlights:

• The newly weds caught the train to Coolgardie where their first home consisted of four tents, one the maids room and one for the piano. Later they moved into a company home the same one the Hoover's lived in at one point. This house was known as the "Hoover House".
• Herbert Hoover was godfather to their first born, Phyllis. He bought her a silver napkin ring.
• When the second child (Jean) was born she received a gift of a silver locket from the same.
• Phyllis went to dance classes and when Anna Pavlova was in Western Australia Phyllis danced for her. Pavlova was impressed but Phylis's grandmama would not hear of her grandaughter being on stage.

James Moore

"MOORE, JAMES (1807-1895), lawyer, pastoralist and banker, was born in January 1807 in Dublin, son of George Moore, Q.C., LL.D., of Kilbride, County Wicklow, and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of James Armstrong. In 1826-31 his father represented Dublin City in parliament and was a descendant of Garrett, first Viscount Moore of Drogheda, whose ancestry traced from the union of John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford. At 16 James entered Trinity College, Dublin (LL.M., 1827; B.A., 1828; M.A., 1832). For twelve years he studied and travelled extensively in Europe, on his last trips accompanied by his friends, Redmond Barry and W. F. Stawell. In 1840 Moore was admitted to the English Bar but did not practise and later that year migrated to Melbourne. He bought land on the St Kilda Esplanade and in partnership with C. J. Griffith took up Glenmore station near Melton. In 1842 Moore married Harriet Maria, daughter of Dr John Watton who had arrived at Melbourne in 1839 and practised medicine before taking up Mount Rouse station. The marriage was blessed with five sons and eight daughters.

From the first Moore was enthusiastic at prospects in the colony and his letters home encouraged many Irish contemporaries including Stawell to migrate to Port Phillip. In 1843 Moore, Griffith and Molesworth Greene went overland on horseback to Portland Bay to study the pastoral possibilities of the Western District. In June 1848 Moore sold his interest in Glenmore to Greene and in 1849 acquired Barjarg station near Benalla. Like many early colonists he was troubled by the vast changes after gold was discovered but, believing that the solution lay in religion rather than politics, he returned to Britain in 1853. He studied arts and theology at Caius College, Cambridge (M.A., 1854), but difficulties with some of the Thirty-nine Articles induced him not to be ordained. In 1856 he returned to Victoria where he developed Warrenbayne near Wangaratta and other stations. By 1863 he had sold them all and made his home in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne.

In 1864 Moore acquired a farm at Moonee Ponds, Melbourne. He sat regularly as a justice of the peace, served on the committee of the Melbourne Hospital, was prominent in the Anglican community and assisted many charitable institutions. In 1867 he became comptroller of the Melbourne Savings Bank. Despite lack of experience in this field his appointment proved fortunate. A strong believer in hard work and thrift, his conservatism in lending lost him some popularity but the policies he helped to promote increased public confidence in the bank and kept it aloof from the rise and collapse of the hysterical land boom. Numerous branches of the bank were opened in Melbourne suburbs and it became one of the world's great savings banks. When Moore retired in 1892 savings deposits with the bank amounted to almost £3,750,000. He died on 6 October 1895 at Richmond and was buried in the old Melbourne cemetery.

Although a conservative Anglo-Irish patrician and perhaps too conscious of his aristocratic ancestry, Moore was learned, high principled, deeply religious and kind. Many descendants live in Melbourne; a plaque depicting him late in life and papers are held by the family" (Charles Francis available at: Australian Dictionary of Biographies online).

"Molly Astore" by George Ogle to Maryann Moore

This is a poem written to Maryann Moore by George Ogle. He proposed to Maryann however, she knocked back his offer. Later George married Maryann's sister Elizabeth and Maryann married her cousin John. This couple named their son after George Ogle who had no children of his own.

Molly Astore

As down by Banna’s banks I strayed,

One evening in May,

The little birds in blithest notes,

Made vocal every spray;

They sung their little tales of love, 

They sung them o’er and o’er. 

An grá-ma-cree, ma colleen óge,

My Molly astore.

I laid me down upon a bank,

Bewailing my sad fate,

That doomed me thus the slave of love,

And cruel Molly’s hate;

How can she break the honest heart

That wears her in its core?

An grá-ma-cree, ma colleen óge,

My Molly astore.

You said you loved me, Molly dear!

Ah! why did I believe?

Yet who could think such tender words

Were meant but to deceive?

That love was all I asked on earth—

Nay, Heaven could give no more.

An grá-ma-cree, ma colleen óge,

My Molly astore.

Then fare thee well, my Molly dear!

Thy loss I e’er shall moan,

Whilst life remains in this fond heart,

‘Twill beat for thee alone;

Though thou art false, my Heaven on thee

Its choicest blessings pour.

An grá-ma-cree, ma colleen óge,

My Molly astore.
